Hi, folks.

Yesterday, the Film Forum in NYC screened one of my favorite 3-strip Technicolor movies, the 1940 version of Thief of Bagdad off a DCP. Since I live 3,000 miles from Manhattan, I didn't make the screening.

Last I heard, this film was in such horrible condition they couldn't even ship a 35mm print from England. Does anyone know anything about the restoration or the quality of the DCP?
